Preview: The Wolves, losers of three in a row, face an Indiana team that has struggled of late. The Pacers got a bump when they fired coach Jim O'Brien and replaced him with Frank Vogel Jan. 30. Indiana won its first four under Vogel and went 9-3 in the first 12 games with him at the helm. But the Pacers -- struggling to make the playoffs -- are 1-6 in their past six , including Tuesday's loss in Philadelphia. The Wolves are 1-9 in their past 10 home games.

Players to watch: With another double-double Wolves F Kevin Love would have 52, giving him sole possession of the longest streak since the NBA-ABA merger. F Michael Beasley has struggled with his shot, but still has scored in double figures in five of six games. PG Jonny Flynn scored in double figures Monday for the first time in 11 games. Indianapolis G Dahntay Jones had all 19 of his points vs. the Wolves Feb. 11 in the fourth quarter in the Pacers' comeback victory. F Danny Granger (20.9) is the team's leading scorer.

Numbers: Indiana has won four of the past six games between the two teams, but the Wolves have won four of the past five at home vs. the Pacers.

Injuries: Kevin Love (left knee contusion) missed Tuesday's practice and is day-to-day. F Anthony Randolph (illness) is questionable. Pacers F Mike Dunleavy (broken left thumb) missed his eighth straight game Tuesday.
